What are the reasons for changes in results from the lab to mass production? Causes and countermeasures for the deterioration of distributed quality during scale-up.

From powder supply to dispersion, defoaming, and transfer. A dispersion machine line compatible with high-viscosity slurries has been established.

We offer a solid-liquid mixing line that includes powder supply, dispersion, degassing, and transfer, centered around the disperser. In high solid content and high viscosity slurries, the powder supply conditions and instantaneous concentration fluctuations significantly affect dispersion quality. This system optimizes the entire process rather than just the disperser alone, achieving quality stabilization and productivity improvement. Additionally, by combining inline dispersers, batch dispersers, static mixers, etc., we can propose systems tailored to material characteristics and processing conditions. We accommodate a variety of slurry applications, including battery materials, CNTs, electronic materials, adhesives, inks, and food. We can provide consistent support from lab testing to scale-up and mass production line construction.

Resolve issues of not dissolving and clumping in advance. Test the dispersibility of the protein.

The quality of protein products is greatly influenced by their dispersion state. In particular, powdered protein often faces challenges such as clumping during dissolution in water or solvents, uneven dispersion, and poor mouthfeel. Additionally, changes in formulation or raw materials can alter viscosity and dispersibility, leading to cases where there are no issues during prototyping but quality becomes unstable during mass production. This service conducts dispersion tests tailored to raw material characteristics and formulation conditions, verifying the suppression of clumping, improvement of dispersibility, and enhancement of mouthfeel. Furthermore, through process design aimed at scaling up from the lab to small machines and mass production equipment, we establish reproducible manufacturing conditions. We can support evaluations from the prototyping stage to pre-mass production verification.

The strength is determined by the variance. Visualize quality variations through testing before mass production.

The performance of adhesives greatly depends on the dispersion state of fillers and additives, and even slight differences in dispersion can affect adhesion strength, durability, and appearance quality. Particularly in highly filled systems, issues such as clumping, undispersed particles, and poor mixing due to viscosity increases are likely to occur, leading to variations in dispersion and quality due to sedimentation and separation. These challenges often stem not from the equipment alone but from input conditions, dispersion conditions, and process composition, manifesting as problems that cannot be reproduced during mass production. In this service, we conduct dispersion tests based on the customer's materials and formulation conditions to evaluate the dispersion state, viscosity characteristics, and their impact on adhesive performance. Furthermore, we perform scale-up verification using small machines and pilot equipment to clarify the reproducible conditions for mass production. By conducting thorough verification that delves into process design, we support quality stability and reduction of development time.

Quality changes with dispersion. Pre-validation of the reproducibility of resin materials through testing.

In the dispersion process of resin materials, the dispersion state of fillers and additives greatly influences product performance. Issues such as strength reduction due to poor dispersion, appearance defects, variability in functional characteristics, and viscosity fluctuations are likely to occur, especially in high-fill and nano-filler systems where dispersion difficulty increases. Additionally, even if there are no problems during the prototype stage, it is often seen that the same quality cannot be reproduced during mass production. This service conducts dispersion tests tailored to material properties and formulation conditions, evaluating dispersion state, viscosity characteristics, and reproducibility. Furthermore, through scale-up verification using small machines and pilot equipment, risks during the transition to mass production are visualized in advance. This is not just a simple test; by delving into process design, we support quality stability and productivity improvement.

Verify before failing in mass production. Confirm the reproducibility of slurry dispersion in advance.

In the dispersion process of battery slurry, it is often observed that while dispersion can be achieved without issues during the research phase, it cannot be replicated during mass production, leading to quality problems. This is particularly true for positive and negative electrode slurries and CNT conductive materials, where variations in powder input conditions, dispersion energy, viscosity changes, and differences in process configuration can significantly alter the dispersion state and coating properties. Our service conducts dispersion tests at the lab scale based on the customer's materials and formulation conditions, evaluating the dispersion state, viscosity characteristics, and reproducibility. Furthermore, we support scale-up verification using small machines and pilot equipment, visualizing risks during mass production in advance. This is not just a simple test; through verification that delves into process design, we assist in reducing troubles during the transition to mass production and shortening the startup period.

In civil engineering sites, there are many instances where temporary roads, access routes, material storage areas, and pedestrian pathways use wooden boards. In residential areas, near schools, hospitals, and stores, the noise from construction, glare, and the appearance of the site can affect the impression on nearby residents, so consideration for temporary materials is required. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. As wooden boards, they can be used as an alternative to steel plates, for muddy ground measures, ground protection, heavy machinery scaffolding, and worker pathways. The unique texture of wood provides a softer impression compared to metal plates, contributing to the improvement of the site environment. Additionally, they can be used as materials for proposals that address neighborhood concerns and environmental considerations, such as reducing metal noise, suppressing glare, and fixing CO2. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," they are also recommended for innovative ideas and safety measures in public works. We encourage you to consider creating civil engineering sites that take into account the surrounding area. We can also propose locations and quantities tailored to site conditions. Please feel free to contact us for material requests or consultations on implementation. They can also be utilized in urban construction and private projects. Don't hesitate to reach out.

In civil engineering sites, there are many instances where temporary roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas use ground plates. While conventional steel plates are practical, they can sometimes fail to leave a lasting impression when it comes to the appearance of the site and conveying the company's initiatives. Hyper CLT ground plates are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. As ground plates with the texture of wood, they can be used as a substitute for steel plates, for mud prevention, ground protection, and ensuring pedestrian pathways. By introducing them in visible areas such as site entrances, morning assembly locations, and around break areas, it becomes easier to create an impact that differs from traditional sites. The 5×10 plate weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 plate weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which helps reduce construction burdens. They also offer advantages such as glare reduction, noise reduction, and environmental considerations unique to wood, making them suitable for innovative public works projects. Registered as a Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS technology "TH-250021-A," they are recommended for companies aiming to create a distinctive impression at their sites. We can also provide consultation for small lot introductions and suggest usage methods tailored to site conditions. Why not add a clear change to your civil engineering site with these new wooden ground plates?

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repairs without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
